Facebook and Instagram have introduced cross-app messaging, letting users from one app find and message you on the other.
With cross-app messaging, you can now search for and message, video chat, or reshare posts with people across Instagram and Facebook.
The integration continues within the Facebook family. Starting today, people with Instagram accounts can search for you and send you message requests on Facebook.

You can still choose who can message you.
To decide where you receive message requests and who can contact you, head to Message Delivery Settings on Facebook.

You can learn more about cross-app messaging in the Facebook Help Center.
